We celebrated my mom's birthday here - and it looked like most tables were celebrating birthdays or having holiday dinners. The caprese di burrata salad was really good. My Pollo Francese was just ok, not super flavorful. They have a kids menu so we were able to get some chicken tenders and fries for my son. Everyone with our group enjoyed their meals. It's BYOB, but they serve some limoncello after the meal. Yum! They were so kind to do a birthday dessert for my mom even when we weren't planning to order any because we had made something to have at home. We passed around the cake and it was really good! read more

Absolutely nothing about my meal stood out. While the appetizers had a nice presentation, the calamari fell short, and the antipasti was pretty disappointing portion size-wise. The pasta was not good at all. It tasted like box pasta and the sauce was both flavorless and watery. The servers were nice, and I enjoyed that it was BYOB, but I would not recommend. read more

My family and I came here for dinner to celebrate a birthday. Food was amazing!! Love how it's a BYOB. It was a Saturday evening. The restaurant was very busy. It was a little difficult to talk & hear conversation. I recommend making a reservation. We will definitely be coming back! read more

This is the best Italian restaurant in the area! The service by Giana could not be better! Thank you!! The ambiance is classy and cozy. Almost all their pastas are homemade and handmade! I ordered the mushroom ravioli which was the best ravioli dish I ever ate in my life! I am daydreaming about it! My husband ordered the chicken with crab limoncello dish over pasta and it was divine. You could taste the asparagus, chicken, and which were married together in flavor. The cream sauces are light. I cannot wait to try their lamb dish and all their desserts! read more

It is a shame because the food was good, but the experience turned me off & will not be back. We made a reservation by phone and when we sat down, we were told by our server that we had to be up in an hour because there was another reservation. I don't mind being told this but they should have told us on the phone when we made the reservation not when we sit down. They were on top of us taking our plates before we were done & we were told we could not order dessert. They are all about rushing you in and out and getting their money. We would have kept ordering, but they shut us down. There are plenty of good restaurants that won't treat us like that. We won't be back! read more

My husband and I were in the area doing some shopping and needed to get food. We didn't want to get fast food so I looked up the restaurants in the area and this came up. I am always up for Italian restaurants so this was right up my alley. We didn't have a bottle of wine with us unfortunately we didn't know it was BYOB. But I ended up getting a rose water lemonade which was very tasty and refreshing. I ordered a pasta special of the night which had shrimp, scallops, crab, and the pasta was a mushroom egg type of pasta which I never had before which was cool. It was very good and everything was fresh, the scallops and shrimp were a nice size and cooked right as well. We ended up getting 2 desserts the tiramisu and the creme brûlée. I actually liked the creme brûlée better. The tiramisu was homemade but tasted a little off like it was missing something. I was also disappointed they ran out of limoncello. We saw the other tables next to us getting it at the end of their meal and we were wondering why no one gave it to us. Our waiter said they ran out but would give us double next time. We don't live around there though so I don't know if and when we will be back. It was a very nice meal and we enjoyed it though. read more

I was so very excited to hear that Limoncello is in our neighborhood and I am even more excited now that I've had the chance actually dine at this location. We had 6 pm reservations with our family and were seated promptly with water glasses filled and water carafes on the tables. Warm bread was brought over with a side of pesto, butter, and olive oil with two Kalamata olives. Our server was very knowledgeable, reciting a long list of specials to the table and giving us time to look over the menu. A few members of our party opted to try appetizers while others chose salads. I went with the salad special which had sliced peaches, goat cheese, arugula, and fennel in a honey vinaigrette. Others ordered the grilled artichokes ( I tried these and they were delicious), the calamari, the burrata, and Caesar salads. The entrees were definitely the star of the show. I went with the papparadalle with short rib and mushrooms. It was delicious, but I actually loved my mother in laws entree even more: the chicken limoncello. Thin chicken cutlets with crab, shrimp, asparagus, and tomatoes in a creamy lemon sauce was fantastic. My mom went with the chicken rollatine, which was also great. Other entrees our party ordered are pictured. Everyone seemed super happy with their selections. For dessert we tried the chocolate cake, the bourbon toffee cake, the peanut butter bomb, and the creme brûlée. The creme brûlée was the only dessert we ordered that was made in house but it was perfection. We finished the evening with complimentary limoncello shots. The space is decorated nicely, servers are attentive, and a lot of the pasta, if not all, is made in house. We will be back again and again. read more

This is welcome and refreshing addition to the restaurant scene around Washington Twp. There was simple yet nice room decor. Comfortable seating. Our server was nice, engaging, congenial and very knowledgeable about the menu and specials. The lobster bisque with crab was a nice way to kick off our meal experience. There was an ample amount of soup, well balanced flavors presented, with plenty of crabmeat. There was a unique presentation for calamari, not breaded and deep fried but rather sort of sautéed and mixed with arugula and cherry tomatoes like a 'salad', and it was excellent! The entrees were the special: 2 lightly breaded flounder filets with LOTS of crabmeat, roasted cherry tomatoes, and asparagus in a lovely cream sauce. The breading on the flounder was light and not over-seasoned. The asparagus was tender and tasty, not 'woody'. Overall, a well-balanced dish. I wish it would be a regular on the menu. My complements to the chef for a great seafood dish. I thought the unique presentation of tiramisu was pretty cool, also. It was made good, not thick, heavy, or overly filling. It had a delicious blend of sweet, creamy mascarpone, coffee, and chocolate sauce. A nice way to finish out or meal. I'm happy we chose to eat here. We will definitely return! read more

Don't want to sit in the house all night so let's go to dinner. Okay let's try here. Dilemma of a couple of home made pasta dishes or veal porcini. I fear veal out, especially at a place we haven't been to before. Reinforcement from the waitress and I go risk on for the veal. Why does risk on at a restaurant never pan out? I guess that's why it's risk on. Veal was tough and despite the umami bomb implied by the assortment of mushrooms and glace, it was rather bland. The wife tasted it and agreed. The waitress was really nice when I asked her to take it off the check. Which resulted in limoncello and limoncello cake on the house. Cheap dinner, but what am I gonna eat for dinner? . read more

I enjoyed everything that came to the table. Giovanna was a great server with good communication skills and she went out of her way to make it a great experience. Ambiance was great as well. read more

The service is good, the food is good, the noise level is high. This byob doesn't disappoint.

Atmosphere good. Our server "Gabby" was very pleasant accommodating and knowledgeable. All meals made to order so If u see something and u want a little change no problem. My wife and I had the house special which was short rib and papperdelli pasta. Outstanding!! She has hers was no mushroom and they were happy to accommodate. I use the Portnoy scoring and that's the only reason it didn't get 5 stars. Have to leave a little room at the top. We finished with a tribute to Pink Floyd with a "Dark side of the Moon" chocolate cake. Outstanding Would definitely go back. read more

Had a 5 star experience here my first visit. The front of house staff were ready for the dinner rush and our server Hannah was excellent and super attentive. The space is modern and nicely decorated. BYOB. The food was the star of the show. From the steak special, to the apps, to the perfectly al dente pasta - everything was outstanding. Get the creme brulee, which is house made. This is a real deal, scratch made, mom and pop feel italian dining experience. read more

This place was the old Pelican Restaurant which closed. The waitress was friendly and nice. The place was busy and loud. They have a few tables outdoors and they were less noisy. The food was very good. We had the special filet mignon ordered as I like it with nice large lump crab meat on top. The brown butter sage mushroom ravioli was ok. They need to make it with more sage and brown butter; keep it simple. The ground meat sauce with capellini was very tasty. We liked the fried calamari but the grilled calamari and octopus was a little tough. This place is a BYOB. They will open the bottle for you and put it on ice if you want. I was not happy they charged 3% for credit cards. I don't like restaurants that are starting to charge customers for credit cards. What's up with that? Over all I would give it a 3.5-4 stars. read more

Everything was truly a culinary delight! We enjoyed a wonderful appetizer, a superior Caesar Salad; and our entrees were incredibly delicious! We even had dessert! The tiramisu was delightful, and light with the right amount of sweetness. The crème brûlée was above my expectations! All in all a delicious evening. Our waitress was attentive and charming( Gianna)! read more

horrible service, i liked the waiter but we were a table of 5 and it took them 2 hours and 10 minutes to get us our food. they had a beautiful ambiance, but I would not eat here again read more

The Food is very good. The menu is limited, but you can find something you'll like. Service is slow but polite and friendly. The footprint of the restaurant is tight, and you can't avoid the loud chatter. It's real loud as a matter of fact (don't expect a quiet evening), you'll have a challenge talking to your partner or hearing the staff. Lastly, the pricing is on a par with other similar moderate to slightly higher priced locations, but they do get carried away with some choices. $16 for a soup is uncalled for. Not bad, but not great. read more

Amazing service!! The food was absolutely delicious. Cute place for dinner date! I wish we had service like this back at home

Food is excellent. Service is always great. Ambiance is upbeat. A must visit restaurant!!

We celebrated my husband's birthday at Limon Cello because it was highly recommended by our daughter. Even though it is nestled in a strip store, walking into the restaurant was warm & inviting. When we were first seated the noise level was good but after the restaurant started to fill up the noise was very loud. Our meal was excellent from appetizers to dessert. The service was top notch. There were 5 people in our party & we ordered many different choices from the menu. When we received our bill, I was surprised to see a $7.50 charge for using my debit card. I must add, I rarely carry cash. I'm not a frugal person, but that charge seriously annoyed me. It would definitely be a deal breaker when thinking about dining out there again. read more

Went there for dinner with gf, Dina. The place looks nice. It was Pelican before, interior looks similar. We ordered fish and the food is good. The portion is big too. We couldn't finished our food and have leftover for lunch the next day. The only complaint I have is the server came and checked on us constantly, that was a little annoying. read more

The food is very good along with ambience. The size portions you get for the price aren't worth it. I get it's a byob so the prices are higher, but they can give you a little bigger portion. I gave it a 4 star instead of a 3 because the food is good read more

Excellent! Fantastic food and service! I would highly recommend. The atmosphere is beautiful inside as well read more

I decided to choose Limoncello for a birthday dinner. I was able to make reservations and when arrived asked if I wanted to be seated outdoor or indoor. My party and I chose to dine indoors. We were seated promptly and was brought water. We were then read the specials for the night before they gave us time to look over the menu. After putting in our order for appetizers and entrees they brought over bread and dips/butter for the bread. Everything up to receiving our meal was on par with regular restaurant dining. The service started decline as the meal continued on. We were not offered refills on drinks and had to ask for a refill on bread. After receiving our check, we waited a bit but we were never approached to finished paying the bill. I had to bring up the check to front desk to drop off. Wish the service was better and more consistent. Also the atmosphere is too loud. We were seated next to a large party and could barely hear each other sitting next to each other. read more

My husband and I dined on a Thursday evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We enjoyed everything- the service, food and atmosphere! I really enjoyed the Calamari alla Griglia and the dinner special which was a seafood and pappardelle dish. We were also happy to bring 2 bottles of our favorite wine to compliment the food and sinful dessert read more

Tonight was my second trip to Limoncello Ristorante in Washington Township, and it did not disappoint. It was my husband's first time there, and he said it may have been the best meal he's ever had. The service was spectacular. Very attentive and friendly. We started with the Antipasto Limoncello, which was delicious. I had the "Carne" which was braised short rib served on parmesan risotto. My husband had the Flounder Francaise special, which was topped with crabmeat and served over homemade papardelle. Both were incredible. We finished with the creme brûlée (sorry about the missing bites before the photo! ) and a complimentary limoncello. I can't wait to go back and work my way through the rest of the menu! read more

We were celebrating our anniversary and love La Finesta in SIC a 5 star restaurant and we anticipated having a wonderful meal since they are the same owners. Sadly and so disappointed with the whole experience.We chose to eat outside because last nite the weather was nice n most of all the inside was so loud n crammed. Yes they had heater which was comfortable until the propane ran out n they didn't replace it Food was such a let down.We sent back the appetizer which was supposed to be a stuffed artichoke.. we were told it had crab meat , roasted peppers n shrimp.. what we received was an over cooked artichoke with no crab meat no peppers a few mushrooms n yes the tiniest shrimp that looked like canned ones n were rubbery.Our fish dishes stuffed flounder and my bronzino were cold but good n the tiramisu which was said to be home made was shoved in a glass n stale even the expressos were bitter Best part was the free sips of lemon cello they give you on the house.Yes they credited the first appetizer Over all we were Extremely disappointed and will never go back or recommend I learned you cannot expect a wonderful meal even if the owners have another establishment which is outstanding read more

Very busy Friday and we were promptly seated at our reserved 6:45 pm table. The back waiter, with no delay filled our water glasses and delivered bread. Thereafter, our friendly waiter, Erjon, introduced himself and advised of the dinner specials. He offered and opened the wine bottles. He checked back for any further needs. I inquired about the Maui Maui special, which he recommended. Ordered by two guests and it was excellent. Will definitely return and plane to reserve for Christmas Eve. Thanks again, read more

This was our second visit to this restaurant. Our first visit was mediocre but thought we would give them another try as the restaurant is close to our home and we were really looking for another dining experience in our area. We arrived 7:25 and were quickly seated. The restaurant was very loud to the point we could barely hear each other talk. Shortly after arriving the waitress took our full order. It took a half hour to deliver our appetizer. We ordered their fried calamari, which was delivered hard as a rock, cold and with no lemon or any marinara or dipping sauce. We ended up sending the appetizer back with no request for a replacement. The waitress then quickly delivered our salads. The Cesar Salads were very skimpy and drenched in dressing. Certainly nothing you would expect from an upscale restaurant. Our main meals took over another half hour. My wife ordered the Pollo Franchise and I order the Pollo Lemoncello. The Pollo Franchise was delivered cold with the pasta over cooked and mush. The Pollo Lemoncello was soaked in a milky sauce that had no flavor. I gave my dish to my wife and had her dish sent back to the kitchen to have it re-heated. Upon return, the dish lost all its presentation, and while it did return hot, it had not flavor. All in, we waited over an hour only to be greeted with two very tasteless and unappealing dinners. While we did wait quite long for our food, this was not on account of our waitress. She was very friendly and was trying to be as attentive as possible. If I were to pinpoint the problem, I would say it appears to be emanating from their kitchen. Likely under staffed and the staff they have lacking competence. Given our experience, I do not think we will be returning to this restaurant anytime soon. A lot of clean up here to do. read more
